Motivosity vs. Small Improvements

By using Motivosity I saw an improvement in the team's motivation and they were more inclined to provide recognition to their peers. This is so much more effective than asking people to send in recognition via email or Slack at the end of each month. This way team members can give recognition right away.

I'm honestly not sure why my company chose to use Small Improvements. We used Lattice before for the all the same use cases I mentioned here. The employee performance review feature might be a bit better in Small Improvements, but the goal-setting tool and the 1:1 tool are very weak. I may not have benefitted yet from all the features that Small Improvements have to offer, but so far it looks like a pretty basic HR tool with much better alternatives out there. If it's cheaper than the competition, that might be the only argument to go with it.

I never had to contact their support so far. There's no "N/A" option so I'm going with a neutral "5".

I think both of them serves the purpose. However, Motivosity gets more points here in terms employee engagement.

Lattice was able to link in with core OKRs whereas from my memory, Small Improvements didn't support this goal setting and tracking framework. While it was good for sentiment and management frameworks, it was unable to connect with the greater company vision as well as Lattice - that was the reason that we moved.
